Learn moreA real, disclosed stale crime-data caveat
This pass's Houston crime citation (1-in-232 violent-crime-victimization odds, 1-in-86 property-crime-victimization odds) reflected 2020-calendar-year data -- a real, disclosed, notably stale vintage this record does not present as current (base record).
A real, disclosed healthcare-access limit
Houston lacks a hospital-level facility within city limits; the nearest is understood to be Mat-Su Regional Medical Center in Palmer, roughly 20-25 miles away (base record).
A real, substantial regional wildfire risk
The 2015 Sockeye Fire near Willow is a real, relevant regional wildfire-hazard data point for this part of the Mat-Su Valley -- a real, disclosed safety consideration beyond crime statistics (base record).
